Favorite Ski Lift

 

[frozencorn]

I'm a sucker for the Wildcat quad. Thing whips up the mountain so fast that you can get a ton of skiing in for the day.

 

[Sparky]

I like just about any lift that doesn't have a line.

Tram to Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, France. I haven't been there during the ski season but I can tell you it's the scariest lift I've ever been on, and my favorite. It goes straight up, like being in an elevator!

The Oz lift at Sunday River. Accesses great terrain and nobody rides it!

A tie between the Tram at Jackson Hole and the 6-pack at Blue...both serve world class terrain..

ditto

I like the terrain off the four runner quad at Stowe better, but I don't think there's a lift in the Northeast that you can crank out more skiing off of than the Wildcat Quad.


west coast would be the Palvacini Chair at Abasin.

the Cloudsplitter gondola at Whiteface. 3000ft+ vertical giving you access to 75% of the mountains terrain. awesome.

Are you sure the Gondola at Iceface is over 3k??? I thought it was around 2500..

Gold Coast Gondi at Squaw was a sister PHB to Sugarloaf's gondi, but with much more fame! 8)
